Phone Interview with someone from HR, thought it went really well and the HR guy even mentioned another position he thought I would be interested in. I sent a thank you email and everything, waited a week to hear back from him but still nothing. I even called him and he said that they were still working on it and that he would get back to me in a couple days or a week i think? But overall I never heard anything back from them. I have a friend that works there and she even said the interview process takes a while but still never heard anything back.
